Is attempted suicide a criminal offense?

Hi,

Thank you for clicking on my question. I promise to be brief.

I would like to kill myself.

But I am not sure if I will succeed in my first attempt.

Cutting my throat or my wrists are a always messy. The blood and the gooey mess it leaves everywhere. Its hard to clean up too. I never made a mess in life, and now should I leave one as I die? I like my carpets. What if I cut the tendons, then I loose my ability to even type a last word or leave a note behind. Even properly cut the wrist on my other arm. Not to mention, the scarlet mark it leaves me with, painting me with more guilt and shame while sending a message, 'Suicide killer here'. Ugh! and now if I don't drain blood fast enough, where do I end up? I really worry for my roommate Marco because of me too. He's the nicest nice guy I know and he's very simple like me. He is fun to be with too. Also I don't know how to tell him that I am out of whack and moody because of that but I really like to have him as my friend and not to hate me. He is either always away or tired sleeping. Last Sunday he made me breakfast as I woke up. And he always checks on me or put a blanket on me if I am cold while asleep. Today he made me dinner, and checked on me twice. Does he already know that I am very depressed and suicidal??

Why do I feel as a failure and instantly get full of hurt and wants to end it all? Anyways, lets do the math, llosing 2.2 liters of blood should result in almost certain death. With that rate of efficiency, its too good of a technique for me to pass it up. As I see it, I come pre-fitted with a pump that can drain the life out of me. Now, why wouldn't I?

Anyways, can somebody with some knowledge of the legal system of the US please answer me? If I don't succeed, will I end up with a charge? Not to mention being labeled as suicidal anyway and even end in treatment?

Thank you so much for your generosity, answers and time taken to read.

Update:

Crap! I meant to post this at Law & Ethics. Ugh! Sorry folks of Psychology. It was a mistake.

Update 2:

Eew! I am not gay, and having a roommate in the U.S. is not gay. Ms. Regina, your ignorance only complements your stupidity.

    I have so much that I want to say, because I relate completely to this. The feeling of being unnecessary, that sudden stab of pain when you know you'd be better off dead. And judging by the way you've written this, I'm scared by the fact that you seem to be ready to go through with it. Please man, I've been there, I really have been there..in that dark and cryptic place. I'm not going to get all preachy, But I will say, if not for yourself, then please just take a look around, re-evaluate what you think you know. I guarantee you you're wrong, it doesn't need to end this way. Rethink this, if not for yourself then for do it for your room mate. Believe it or not, your actions do have the capacity to hurt those around you.

    Assisted suicide is illegal in Canada. Don't know about the US. Honestly, though, way to put your family through hell. Consider what you are going to be doing to the people you leave behind before you take your own life. This is speaking from experience. You really are being selfish when you decide to kill yourself. It is inconsiderate to the scores of people who will not only mourn your passing, but what about those who would consider killing themselves as a result of your actions? Get help, and get help now. Someone must care about you enough to want you to carry on your duration in this world...
